Racing seats fitted (S13)

Finally got the seats fitted in the s13. Looks really good, BUT, as expected, they are sitting a little bit too high.

I notice that there is space to lower the driver seat, but the passenger side rail is right down against that 'bump' in the floorboard.

The only option I see to lower the passenger side seat is by removing the middle exhaust box and flattening that bulge in the floorboards with a 5 pound hammer.

I'd love to know how anyhone else managed to get their seats the correct hight?? :?: :?: 😮

Oh is that what that bulge is/'was for. i always wondered

ummm mine is probably now 3/5cm higher than normal, but I like it now... Calibrator can also fit in the car, without the need to open the sun roof 😀

Looks really nice. Upmarket :!:

I agree those do look awesome! How much were they? Are they a problem at the current hight?

ja looks really great

WOW... looks very good! Doesn't seem too high from the pics...

Thanks guys.

The hight is not so much of a problem for the passenger, but as a tall driver the gap between the steering and the legs as well as between the roofline and the head has decreased quite a bit.

It is amazing what a difference 3 or 4 centimeters can make! 😛 😀

Gonna try and get the driver seat down a bit next week end and then I'll figure out something for the passenger side.

Q: I think on Vlade's car I saw the back seat was re-upholstered. Looked really good. Was wondering where it was done and how much that sets a personb back.

wow man jour car looks nice , i also have fitted racing seats but is strugling with the passanger seat its higher than the drivers seat but i think ill leave the 4pound hamer that sounds dangerous 😕 😕 😕 😕 😮 :x 😢 😮

Fantastic. Those racing seats. I also want them 8) 8)

Make sure you date girls < 6ft

I can't see that there's a solution other than something drastic like you have in mind. Maybe cutting and putting in a plate to cover the hole is a better idea.

Maybe before doing all that check google?

so pretty, the seats look great 😀

Looks very very nice. I like the plain black & the red Sparco lettering.....nice.

hey G

you've really done a good job with this sx man.

well done.

anyone who hasnt seen it up close, really needs to convince G to join the next meet, and go see it!

I wouldn't mind sitting in them 😉

Thanks V,

But my S13 is still a baby compared to some of the rides I've read about on this forum and seen at Caver's shop.
😮

my pleasure dude.

and dont worry - yours is still mostly stock engine and power wise, but you've been concentrating on the look and feel of it.

thats what i am impressed by.

the tinted glass, the seats, the steering wheel, the mags, the sound...

compared to mine its way better in that regard.

but soon its gonna be time for suspension, and then power!

he he...

Cosmetic mods are what us guys without the big bucks do...LOL

Trust me if I had the bucks she'd be making 400whp by now 8)

ps: got the bootlid smoothed out and the holes from the OEM spoiler filled. No crappy body filler. Metal circles welded on, grinded off. Then prep and painted. Just in time for summer rains too 🙂

Next up I need to get that leaky ex-manifold sorted that I've been biatching about so long now... (and before I burn a valve)

just bring it around one saturday!
